Anda Kursisa | Passive House Method for Industrial buildings

An evident energy savings in the refurbishment of industrial plants could be reached by combining PHPP as the Passive House design and calculation method and full energy assessment method - especially for calculations of building envelope and windows, and ventilation systems.

Mark Siddall, John Trinick | Bridging the Energy Performance Gap

This paper considers: do Passivhaus buildings have the same actual fabric heat loss as the calculated value and is thermal bypass a cause of performance failure? A coheating test gives the opportunity to address this question. This paper also highlights some of the practicalities, challenges and possible solutions for those wishing to conduct coheating tests.

Jelle Langmans | Quantitative study on the hygric response of timber frame walls with exterior air barriers

This article examines the hygrothermal performance of timber frame walls with exterior air barrier systems. The simulation results demonstrate that mineral wool insulated elements in combination with exterior air barriers result in moisture problems, related to natural convection.
